NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NC (WECT) -

A man from the Cape Fear region captured unique views of Wilmington and its surrounding beaches using a drone.

Bill Stuart said it took him about two months to gather the footage used in the video he posted to YouTube. Stewart said he was in no rush to get the footage and that the action shots were the toughest to get.

"You have to wait for the right conditions to fly safely," Stuart said.

Stuart uses a DJI Phantom, which he said is one of the most popular drones on the market.

"It's been a lot of fun filming because every time you take it out, you get a different experience and different shots. There's so many cool sites and activates to capture in the area that it was something worth buying for me," Stuart explained.
